Celebrating the National Holiday Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
 |
| 1929-1968 |
Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael Luther King, Jr.) was a prominent leader of the Civil Rights Movement, pastor, humanitarian and activist born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He received many awards like the Nobel Peace Prize, the Congressional Gold Metal, Presidental Metal of Freedom and many others. He married Coretta Scott and from this union they had four children, Martin III, Yolanda, Dexter and Bernice.
His famous and well-known "I Have A Dream" speech resonates throughout the world to this day. His untimely death on April 4, 1968, when he was assasinated in Memphis, Tennessee may have silenced his voice, but it cannot silence his message! Long live the "DREAM!"

Happy Birthday Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
|
| January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968 |
Today we celebrate the birthday of an iconic civil rights leader for non-violence. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a prominent member of the American clergy, activist and leader. He is best known for his "I Have A Dream" speech.
Dr. King was one of our trailblazers who helped pave the way for justice and equality for all people. Although he lost his life because of his courage and boldness to fight an uphill battle against the forces of radial discrimination, his legacy remains alive and is an inspiration for all of us today!
Thank you Dr. King for the unselfish sacrifices you made, not just for yourself and your family, but for everyone in our country and touching the world community.

Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

| 1929-1968 |
“These are revolutionary times; all over the globe men are revolting against old systems of exploitation and oppression. The shirtless and barefoot people of the world are rising up as never before. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light…We must move past indecision to action…If we do not act, we shall surely be dragged down the long, dark, and shameful corridors of time reserved for those who possess power without compassion, might without morality, and strength without sight.”
Martin Luther King, Jr.
April 4, 1967
